    I have a 95 and just posted this topic. I used the plug with the larger wires. Mine is missing A pin, so I ran B pin to the new PCM and the rest I had never cut.

    I'm not sure what pin it is as I used a PSI harness and it had a wire labeled PNP.

    ok so ive been going through all the escalade diagrams very carefully and i finally figured it out. you have to look closely at the connector label. they call it the pnp connector but its labled either C1 or C2. this is not to be confused with the connectors on the fuse block. c1 is the smaller 4 pin connector and c2 is the bigger 7 pin. so i made a revised pinout for the 03 harness in case anyone else such as dimebagged runs into this. i will also post this on his thread.

    Good info man! I like when people really explain the details, it will help the next guy.
    Are u reusing the 4pin connector aswell? As of now I'm not sure what it really does.

    i havnt checked on those wires just yet but the colors match so im pretty sure it will plug in and work. but ill confirm first. i forgot to mention that the notes i put on the side are where the wires go to on the fuse box on the new harness. not necessarily where they will terminate on my truck tho. for example, the gray wire on the new connector for the reverse lights i will cut and i will solder it to the green wire (after i cut it from the old connector) which goes strait to the lamps... if that makes sense. im going to be running both fuse boxes in my truck. i dont want to deal with removing the old one especially since i am going to be keeping the abs and ac n other things. plus i like the fact that i will have extra ckts to utilize for future electrical upgrades which i have in mind. so i have to do a lil extra work to get power to it and ignition power too. but i feel this suits ME best. maybe not others. let me know if you need any help on the wiring. im getting pretty good at understanding them.

    hey everyone. just a quick update. not much info as i have worked everyday since i last touched the truck... but i ill finally have all day tomorrow to hopefully get the wiring finished. i wrote down EVERYTHING i need to do. got all the wiring figured out... I THINK.. lol but something just crossed my mind....

    i have bought the ac delco 381 pump along with a new 98 fuel sending unit (the whole in tank module) which came with a pump and all...i bought the new unit because it comes with the pressure sensor which i need for emmissions. i was gonna swap in the new pump and buy the EXPENSIVE ASS SUBMERSIBLE HOSE from napa but then i thought WAIT A MIN!!! isnt the newer style pump and hose already rated for the higher fuel pressure due to it being made for the vortec style motor? what im asking is do i really need to take they time to swap those parts off the unit or can i just drop it in and run with it???? obviously that would be the preferable way.... let me know!!! im about ready to swap the unit out! thanks!
